At the moment, when compilation is stopped at a stop point (like `-Z parse-only`), `rustc` does not return an nonzero exit code even if there are errors (expect fatal ones, that cause it to panic immediately). As an example, compiling `src/test/compile-fail/doc-before-semi.rs` with `-Z parse-only` raises an error, but exists with 0.
Note that I could not use `sess.abort_if_errors()` in the macro, because `sess` is passed by value and move at some point.
skolemize_late_bound_regions essentially copies the entire type (most of the times it shouldn't, but it does), and match_impl runs millions of times.
Times compiling rustc, tested with
$ make -j4 rustc-stage1
$ ( time RUSTFLAGS=-Z time-passes make -j4 rustc-stage2 ) # need LLVM time for calibration
Before:
real 21m44.960s
user 29m38.812s
sys 0m14.944s
After:
real 19m31.445s
user 26m47.260s
sys 0m14.952s
Making this is a 10% performance improvement.
LLVM passes took 867 seconds before, 862 seconds after.
This implementation is currently about 3-4 times faster than using the `.to_string()` based approach.
I would also suggest we deprecate `String::from_str` since it's redundant with the stable `String::from` method, but I'll leave that for a future PR.
"Dynamically typed" didn't seem like a relevant distinction; there are statically-compiled dynamically-typed languages. Another term that might work here (despite being notoriously vague) is "scripting languages".
Apply optimization described in
https://github.com/rust-lang/regex/pull/73#issuecomment-93777126
to rust's copy of `unicode.py`.
This shrinks librustc_unicode's tables.rs from 479kB to 456kB,
and should improve performance slightly for related operations
(e.g., is_alphabetic(), is_xid_start(), etc).
In addition, pull in fix from @dscorbett's commit
d25c39f86568a147f9b7080c25711fb1f98f056a in regex, which
makes `load_properties()` more tolerant of whitespace
in the Unicode tables. (This fix does not result in any
changes to tables.rs, but could if the Unicode tables
change in the future.)
This just deletes some egregious lies and obsolete terminology -- all of which I originally wrote -- from the reference. I expect the reference itself will be deleted soon enough, but I found myself gritting teeth over these bits too much to let them into a 1.0 release.
I did a manual merge of all the extended error PRs as we were getting merge conflicts yesterday. I think this is preferable to merging separately as I ended up having to manually merge @nham and @GuillaumeGomez's commits.
Rollup of #24458, #24482 and #24488.
#24482 and #24488 were already re-approved, and would need to be cancelled if this is merged instead.
Loading from and storing to small aggregates happens by casting the
aggregate pointer to an appropriately sized integer pointer to avoid
the usage of first class aggregates which would lead to less optimized
code.
But this means that, for example, a tuple of type (i16, i16) will be
loading through an i32 pointer and because we currently don't provide
alignment information LLVM assumes that the load should use the ABI
alignment for i32 which would usually be 4 byte alignment. But the
alignment requirement for the (i16, i16) tuple will usually be just 2
bytes, so we're overestimating alignment, which invokes undefined
behaviour.
Therefore we must emit appropriate alignment information for
stores/loads through such casted pointers.
Fixes#23431

It's just as convenient, but it's much faster. Using write! requires an
extra call to fmt::write and a extra dynamically dispatched call to
Arguments' Display format function.
